Featuring the keynote speaker Sade Musa!

  

Keynote Speaker: Sade Musa (she/her/hers)

Sade Musa is a folk herbalist, wellness educator, and activist who is also a disabled, ill, and neurodivergent mixed-Black cis queer femme. Motivated by her own experiences navigating a deeply racist and sexist medical system, and similarly problematic alternative healing spaces, she is dedicated to helping others advocate for their wellbeing. Sade founded Roots of Resistance — an educational project reclaiming ways of healing disrupted by colonization, challenging narratives invisibilizing Afro-diasporic contributions to medicine, and bringing attention to health disparities and other forms of injustice. Through ROR she offers donation-based and sliding scale herbal classes and remedies, leads plant walks, and donates medicine to various wellness programs.
